It’s Music Monday! What does that mean? The Central Mississippi
Regional Library System has a ridiculous amount of FREE to you
resources available for patrons. One of those is Freegal, a
free and legal service that now allows patrons to download five songs each week for FREE (notice the emphasis on free). Every
Monday we’ll be picking five songs that we love that are available on Freegal
for you to download.
It’s Music Monday, but it’s also totally Harry
Potter season. I don’t know about you guys, but when ABC Family starts playing
the Harry Potter movies pretty much every single day, I watch them pretty much
every single day. I LOVE these movies, just like I love the books. I also tend
to listen the soundtracks (which are AWESOME) more often during the fall. They
are perfect fall weather/get work done to/pump you up songs, so I thought I’d
share five six of my favorites.
Hedwig’s theme – this is the classic “Harry Potter
song”. You’ll recognize it almost immediately, and it appears in every movie in
one form or another.
Harry’s Wondrous World – a fantastical feeling song that
really encapsulates what the first two books/movies felt like – magical.
Mischief Managed – the perfect ending to the third
song. Mixes all of the other songs together in a dark, wonderful finale to the
movie.
Potter Waltz – a fun, fast-paced song. The song
where Harry tries to dance at the Yule Ball and…fails a bit.
Buckbeak’s Flight – a sweeping, lovely piece. The song
that plays as Harry rides Buckbeak around the Hogwarts grounds in the third
movie.
Professor Umbridge – kind of enchanting and a lot of
fun. Very bouncy. Just ignore the fact that it’s about that horrible woman.
You know you want to download some of
these, so head on over to Freegal and download them all for FREE and start your
fall playlist!
